EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Mochica Culture in Peru, dating back to 100-750 AD. Known as the "Monkey Bottle" this ancient masterpiece reflects the artistic brilliance of the Moche civilization that thrived in northern Peru during this period. The Monkey Bottle, now housed at the Royal Scottish Museum, represents an intriguing blend of animal likeness and human creativity. The bottle's distinctive feature is its monkey-shaped head with a mischievous expression captured in intricate detail. Its open mouth and tongue sticking out convey a sense of playfulness and perhaps even disrespect, challenging conventional norms of ancient Peruvian artistry. This unique artifact stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and imaginative prowess of South American civilizations. Measuring cm Dixon by Mike Dixon, this historic object offers us a glimpse into the past, reminding us of our connection to those who came before us. The vibrant colors adorning the Monkey Bottle further enhance its visual appeal while symbolizing vitality and life force inherent in Mochica culture. As we admire this extraordinary piece from centuries ago, let it serve as a reminder that art transcends time and space – bridging continents and generations. It invites contemplation on concepts such as tradition, innovation, and artistic expression across different eras.
